About this title

Book Description:

Lizabeth Allisonrsquo;s Fundamental Molecular Biology has earned applause for its engaging and lucid writing style. More accessible to beginning students in the field than its encyclopaedic counterparts, Allisonrsquo;s text is a distillation of the essential concepts of molecular biology, and is supported by current examples, experimental evidence, and boxes that address related diseases, methods, and techniques. Fundamental Molecular Biology has been praised both for its balanced and solid coverage of traditional topics, and for its broad coverage of RNA structure and function, epigenetics, and medical molecular biology. The book relies primarily on eukaryotic examples, but includes key comparisons with prokaryotic organisms where it is appropriate and instructive. Fundamental Molecular Biology includes all-original artwork, providing the clearest possible insight into complex concepts, and is supplemented by an outstanding interactive website featuring all of the artwork, animations of key processes, and useful student comprehension material.
